I’ve got an issue with my 2004 tacoma dbl cab. I got into a car accident and now my dash lights,ac lights, etc will not turn on. But my headlights will. Anyone know where to look first? I’ve looked at the fuses already.

It may seem obvious but . . . dimmer switch for the dash lights is not all the way down? I'd look at fuses next.

Or possibly the wiring to or from the rheostat may be damaged. Was the impact from the accident near the cab?
